LUKE THOMPSON: SHORT-TERM “NOs”!

On this one

For this week’s episode, we caught up with Luke Thompson, who’s currently enjoying a career-best season on the Challenger Series. We dive into his journey growing up in Durban, the emotions behind winning his home event in Ballito, and what it was like versing (and nearly beating) Jordy Smith at J-Bay. Luke also shares insights into mindset, pressure, and what it takes to keep progressing at the highest level. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did #surf #podcast #wsl #surfer #challengerseries #lukethompson #surfingpodcast
